TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to carboxylic acid derivatives. More specifically, the present invention relates to a carboxylic acid derivative of formula (I)

wherein all symbols have the same meanings as described below; a non-toxic salt thereof and a pharmaceutical agent comprising the same as an active ingredient.

BACKGROUND ART

Prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) has been known as a metabolite in the arachidonic acid cascade. It has been known that PGE₂ possesses cyto-protective activity, uterine contractile activity, a pain-inducing effect, a promoting effect on digestive peristalsis, an awaking effect, a suppressive effect on gastric acid secretion, hypotensive activity, and diuretic activity.

In the recent study, it was found that PGE₂ receptor was divided into some subtypes, which possesses different physical roles from each other. At present, four receptor subtypes are known and they are called EP₁, EP₂, EP₃ and EP₄ respectively [J. Lipid Mediators Cell Signaling, 12, 379-391 (1995)].

Among these subtypes, EP₃ receptor was believed to be involved in signal transduction of peripheral nerve, control of exothermal reaction in central nerve, formation of memory by expressing in cerebral neuron, vascularization, reabsorption of urine by expressing in renal tubular, uterine contraction, production of ACTH, platelet aggregation. Besides, it was expressed in vascular smooth muscle, heart and gastrointestinal tract also. EP₄ receptor was believed to be involved in suppression of TNF-α production and induction of IL-10 production.

So the compounds which can bind to EP₃ receptor and/or EP₄ receptor strongly and show the antagonizing activity, are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases induced by excess activation of EP₃ receptor and/or EP₄ receptor, for example, pain such as cancerous pain, fractural pain, pain following surgical and dental procedures; allodynia, hyperalgesia, pruritus, urticaria, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, rhus dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, various symptoms by treating with dialysis, asthma, rhinitis, sneeze, urinary frequency such as neurogenic bladder, neurogenic bladder, irritant bladder, unstable bladder, urinary frequency that originate with prostate-gland enlargement; urinary disturbance, ejaculatory failure, fever, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, learning disturbance, Alzheimer's disease, angiogenesis, cancer such as formulation of cancer, growth of cancer and metastasis of cancer; retinopathy, patch of red, erythematous patches, achromoderma, pigmented spot, scald, burn, burn by steroid, renal failure, nephropathy, acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, abnormal blood levels of electrolytes, threatened premature delivery, abortion threatened, hypermenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, uterine fibroids, premenstrual syndrome, reproductive disorder, stress, anxiety disorders, depression, psychosomatic disorder, mental disorder, thrombosis, embolism, transient ischemia attack, cerebral infarction, atheroma, organ transplant, myocardial infarction, cardiac failure, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, circulatory failure and circulatory failure induced ulcer, neuropathies, vascular dementia, edema, various arthritis, rheumatism, diarrhea, constipation, disorder of bilious excretion, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, alleviation of rebound phenomenon after steroid, dose reduction of steroid and adjunct for steroid withdrawal and/or bone diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, abnormal bone formation; cancer such as formation of cancer, proliferation of cancer, metastasis of cancer to organs and to bones and hypercalcemia induced metastasis to bones of cancer; systemic granuloma, immunological diseases such as ALS, multiple sclerosis, Sjoegren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, AIDS; allergy such as allergic conjunctivitis, allergic rhinitis, contact dermatitis, psoriasis; atopy such as atopic dermatitis; asthma, pyorrhea, gingivitis, periodontitis, neuronal cell death, Alzheimer's disease, pulmonary injury, hepatopathy, acute hepatopathy, nephritis, renal failure, myocardial ischemia, Kawasaki disease, scald, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, multiple organ failure, chronic headache such as migraine headache, tension-type headache or mixed headache thereof, cluster headache; pain, angiogenesis, angiitis, venous insufficiency, varicose veins, anal fistula, diabetes insipidus, stress, endometriosis, adenomyosis of the uterus, neonatal patent ductus arteriosus, cholelithiasis etc. Moreover, it relates to sleeping disorder and platelet aggregation, so the compounds are considered to be useful for them.

As a compound useful for a treatment of a disease related prostaglandin E receptor, for example, (A) in a specification of WO 99/47497, a compound of formula (A):

wherein HET^(a) is a 5- to 12-membered mono- or bi-aromatic ring; A^(a) is a group of one or two atoms; X^(a) is 5- to 10-membered mono- or bi-aryl, heteroaryl, and the rings may be substituted with R^(14a) and R^(15a); B^(a) is —(C(R^(18a))₂)_(pa)—Y^(a)—C(R^(18a))_(qa)—; R^(1a), R^(2a) and R^(3a) are hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl, etc.; and (B) in a specification of WO 00/20371, a compound of formula (B)

wherein Ar^(1b) is aryl or heteroaryl; W^(b) is a 3- to 6-membered linking chain containing 0-2 of a hetero atom(s); Ar^(2b) is aryl or heteroaryl which may be substituted with R^(3b); R^(3b) is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl, CHF₂, CF₃, halogen, halo(C1-6) alkyl, N(R^(5b))₂, cyano, nitro, C(R^(6b))₃; X^(b) is a linking chain; Q^(b) is COOH, tetrazole, SO₃H, hydroxamic acid, CONHSO₂R^(12b), SO₂NHCOR_(12b); were described.

Pharmacological Activity of the Compound of the Present Invention:

The compound of the present invention of formula (I) strongly binds to PGE₂ receptors, in particular, EP₃ and/or EP₄ receptors which are subtypes thereof and antagonize the same.

The pharmacological activity is confirmed by the following receptor-binding experiment by using cells expressing prostanoid receptor subtypes.

(i) Receptor-Binding Experiment by Using Cells Expressing Prostanoid Receptor Subtypes

In accordance with the method of Sugimoto et al. [J. Biol. Chem., 267, 6463-6466 (1992)], CHO cells respectively expressing prostanoid receptor subtypes (mouse EP₁, EP₂, EP_(3α) and EP₄) were prepared to give membrane preparations.

Each membrane fraction (50 μl) thus prepared and a reaction solution (150 μl) containing ³H-PGE₂ were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. After ceasing the reaction with an ice-cooled buffer (3 ml), the bound ³H-PGE₂ was trapped in a glass filter (GF/B) by filtering with suction under reduced pressure. Then the bound radioactivity was measured with a liquid scintillator.

Kd value and Bmax value were determined by Scatchard plots [Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci., 51, 660 (1949)]. Nonspecific bond was determined as bond in the presence of unlabeled PGE₂ in excess (2.5 μM). The ³H-PGE₂-binding inhibitory effects of the invention compounds were measured by adding ³H-PGE₂ (2.5 nM) and the invention compounds at various concentrations. In every reaction, the following buffer was employed.

Buffer: potassium phosphate (10 mM, pH 6.0), EDTA (1 mM), MgCl₂ (10 mM), NaCl (0.1 M).

The dissociation constant Ki (μM) of each compound was determined in accordance with the following formula. Table 1 shows the results. Ki=IC ₅₀/(1+([C]/Kd))

TABLE 1 Ki (μM) Ex. compound EP₁ receptor EP₂ receptor EP₃ receptor EP₄ receptor 8(13) >10 >10 0.27 0.038 (ii) EP₃ Antagonistic Activity Measurement Experiment by Using Cells Expressing Prostanoid Receptor Subtype

In accordance with the method of Sugimoto et al. [J. Biol. Chem., 267, 6463-6466 (1992)], CHO cells expressing a mouse EP₃ receptor subtype. These cells were sowed in a 96-well microplate at a density of 10⁴ cells/well and incubated for 2 days before using in the experiment. After washing each well with PBS (100 μl), the cells were allowed to intake Fura-2AM for 60 minutes. After washing with an HEPES solution, a test compound and PGE₂ (10 nM) were added at 37° C. and a change in the intracellular calcium concentration was measured. Namely, after exciting at 340/380 nm in wavelength, the fluorescences at 510 nm were measured and thus the fluorescence intensity ratio was determined.

The antagonistic action of the test compound was calculated as the inhibitory ratio to the reaction using PGE₂ (10 nM) alone and IC₅₀ was determined.

(iii) EP₄ Antagonistic Activity Measurement Experiment by Using Cells Expressing Prostanoid Receptor Subtype

In accordance with the method of Nishigaki et al. [FEBS Lett., 364, 339-341 (1995)], CHO cells respectively expressing mouse EP₄ receptor subtypes were prepared. After sowing on a 24-well microplate at a density of 10⁵ cells/well, the cells were incubated for 2 days before use in the experiment. After washing each cell with MEM (minimum essential medium) (500 μl), an assay medium (MEM containing 1 mmol/L IBMX, 1% BSA) (450 μl) was added and the cells were incubated at 37° C. for 10 minutes. Next, PGE₂ was added alone or together with a solution (50 μl) containing a test compound and the reaction was initiated. After reacting at 37° C. for 10 min, ice-cooled TCA (10% w/v) (500 μl) was added to thereby cease the reaction. The liquid reaction mixture was once frozen (−80° C.) and thawed. Next, the cells were peeled with a scraper and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 3 minutes. Using the supernatant thus obtained, the cAMP concentration was measured with a cAMP assay kit. Namely, a buffer of a [¹²⁵I]cAMP assay kit (manufactured by Amersham) was added to 125 μl of the supernatant to give a total volume of 500 μl. Then this mixture was mixed with a 0.5 mol/L of a solution (1 ml) of tri-n-octylamine in chloroform. After removing TCA in the chloroform layer, the aqueous layer was employed as a sample and the cAMP in the sample was quantified in accordance with the method described in the [¹²⁵I]cAMP assay kit.

The antagonistic effect (IC₅₀) of the test compound was calculated as the inhibitory ratio to the reaction at 100 nM, i.e., the concentration at which PGE₂ alone shows a submaximal cAMP producing effect, and IC₅₀ was determined.

As the results of the above experiments, it was clarified that the invention compounds have a potent EP₃ and/or EP₄ receptor antagonistic activity.

Toxicity:

It has been confirmed that the compounds of the present invention of formula (I) have sufficiently low toxicity and thus are safe enough in using as drugs.
